Study Villonanny source code

I am new to java and for a month I read a few books on Java. Those books are not so advanced but sufficient for starting in java.

I wanted to study a software and help its community. Its a bit too advanced for me but if someone can read the source code maybe they can help me extract the basic of the codes. I mean by this show me it's core function relies in which module.

I basically want to know how this code interact with http without using webrequest. Maybe it does and hidden somewhere. I wanted to learn how it logs to website it download the html page and extract data from it and how it post the data also. Once I know which function does this i will search the web and read about it.

I've been able to do it in VB but now i want to learn in java as I hear java it's more robust for web application.

best learning website

its open source code. Unfortunately every body there are expert and are very less active. I can expect an answer in weeks and in my opinion only an expert can explain the codes as many newbie find it difficult to keep pace with them and eventually drop out.

I am learning using Jcreator and netbean. My aim is to provide the community with a GUI as presently they dont have a gui.

"why should we help you plagarise someone else's code, thereby making ourselves an accesory?" I dont know why you wrote this.

Please make this thread sticky one and I would ask the admin of villonnany to link this to his forum as a guide for starter.

I am not sure where it catches the url. Its not straight forward. If someone can help me to figure it out. The configuration is stored in an xml file.

I think it call configmanager.java and there its process the xml file but still what instruction is issued to capture the html file data.Maybe this will be in another class. If you were to do a project like villonnany is there alternatives way or only one for capturing html file and interpreting the data.
